Their arguments are simply wrong. Increases in the minimum wage do not destroy jobs (though some employers can use them as an excuse to lay people off) and are not inflationary in any significant way (and besides, inflation is not a problem at the moment).

They're also cruel, a reflection of the GOP's penchant for brutality (specifically for the brutalization of low-income Americans).

But let them try to live on $7.25 an hour. Or even $9. For that matter, let them live in a cardboard box over a heating grate with no hope at all.

As they insist on being such insensitive, uncompassionate right-wing fucks, I for one would welcome that. It might even make me think there's some justice in the world.
